HS Insider, the Los Angeles Times‘ initiative “for students, by students,” strives to “advance media literacy and empower the next generation of storytellers.” Accordingly, the program allows students to publish articles under the LA Times‘ banner. “HS Insider was created as a forum for young journalists to develop their skills and share their experiences,” then-LA Times publisher Austin Beutner said when the initiative was launched in 2014. “The conflict began in 1948 when Israel went to war with neighboring Arab countries of Jordan, Syria and Egypt,” it claims. Although the HS Insider Quick Start guide claims that an editor reviews articles before publication, this is seemingly not the case. Reach out to Molly Heber, Project Lead of HS Insider, and demand that the LA Times stick to its own ethics guidelines.
